It’s nice to be home. But, really not much to talk about today, it was a work day and a very busy one at that. I logged in around 6:45AM MT and didn’t get a break until I was done at 3:55PM MT. I usually log in early in the morning as I work for an East Coast company that starts work around 8:00AM ET and finishes around 4:30PM ET, that lets me work a 6:45AM MT to 2:45PM MT schedule, which makes the afternoons really great. But, lately I have been having an issue just fitting everything in.
I feel bad when this type of day happens because I try to go outside and play with Climber on a daily basis, but that did not happen today. And I was gone for the last week so it’s been about 8 days since I played ball with her. I have to get outside with her tomorrow a bit after I do my appointment. I also need to see if I can get her started on agility training. I think she may be perfect for it, if I can focus her energy a bit.
Have some health news as well, remember a few days ago I mentioned I had a sudden heart rate drop when I was doing two treadmill workouts? Well, my cardiologist was not impressed. I guess I am going to be wearing a heart monitor for two weeks starting as soon as it shows up. I am instructed to do my workouts (with the exception of swimming) as I normally would but to make sure I get a couple treadmill workouts into the mix. The two cardiologists I work with want to see what is actually happening and what is causing it. The last time I had this type of monitor it was a sticky mess. I am not sure why, but for some reason the people who design cardiac monitors do not design them to be worn while working out. Yeah me.
My other small problem is that both of my feet and ankles are pretty swollen. As in swollen to the point of not getting them into my shoes easily swollen. The left one is much worse than the right one, but neither is great. I am not sure why this is happening so badly right now. It could be due to the travel, but in reality I have not been sitting around that much. For the 5 days in Vegas I was very active and my flight time was only around 2 hours of sitting so I don’t think that was the problem. None of my flights were over 2 hours for this trip. I am retaining water in a big way right now. Another topic for discussion with the doctor.
I have two sleeping dogs here, Res is out here in the middle of the floor and for some reason Climber is being a crate baby this evening. Doors open, she’s just decided to hang out in her crate. She does this on occasion. She’s a good girl most of the time, just a little young greyhound hyper. And OFF she goes!
Climber, PLEASE leave him alone!!! He’s sleeping, it’s not play time.
I think that’s a wrap for today. Tomorrow is another day and I may have some interesting stuff to share.
